Hell…my wife was even making fun of the Cubs fans who were wearing Cubs jersey’s with his name on it and she is non-confrontational as they come. She said they should feel ashamed of themselves. But I am not sure they feel ashamed of anything.

But as with the Theo debate. Who are going to get that’s a better option? I know he’s the baseball mad scientist, but if I were a Cards fan I would hope he retires in StL.

Fri, 28 Oct 2011 18:03:57 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=95273#comment-216137Chip, I think that certainly will affect it – but, TLR’s been his manager his whole career. He’s comfortable with him, and I think if Tony’s back, Albert has yet another reason to stay. If TLR left, it’d be one less thing tying Albert to St. Louis…

Fri, 28 Oct 2011 16:53:15 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=95273#comment-216059Dead on 42. When I saw the headline that is the 1st thing I thought.
And I am with you on TLR. He frustrates the hell out of me too.
But he sure does have a lot of loyal players and assistant coaches (most of his assistants have been with him for 15 – 20+ years.)
Falling on the sword for Lilliquist is a fine example and A.P. absolutely loves TLR.

Fri, 28 Oct 2011 15:11:10 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=95273#comment-215972As much as TLR frustrates me… I think this is good from a re-signing Pujols standpoint.
